Hundreds of thousands of dead fish reported on Masonboro Island
Environmental officials explain that the fish, Atlantic menhaden, which travel in very large groups, took a wrong turn, up Loosins Creek.
In under an hour, the area caused dissolved oxygen levels in the water to drop to close to zero, which ended up killing them.
As a result, the dead fish have been discovered along the island's beaches and in the water.
Officials say they've noticed a pattern of dead fish in winter months and attribute it to the menhaden tightening their school.
Workers with Coastal Management, Water Quality and Marine Fisheries are keeping an eye on the area, and throughout the weekend, dead fish will probably continue to surface.
The workers have a monitoring station set up that checks the water for dissolved oxygen levels, temperature, pH levels and other data.
"This may be the first time we have had continuous monitoring of water quality in an area at the exact time of a fish kill," said Jim Gregson, Surface Water Protection supervisor for the state Division of Water Quality, in a statement. "The data recorded by Coastal Management's monitoring station was a big help in determining the cause of this event."
"You want to make sure it's not an algae or something that could be a concern for human health and a lot of times, you don't know what caused it," said Stephanie Garrett, who is with NCDENR. "Being able to look at what the physical conditions were at the time, you can see that they just ran out of oxygen."
Officials say that while the dead fish don't necessarily pose a danger to humans, they want to make visitors aware of the occurrence.
"With the weekend going to be nice and people going to be on the beaches, they're going to see dead fish," Garrett warned.

“The tragic and heartbreaking information you received is, regrettably, true,” confirmed Swartz’ attorney, Elliot R. Peters of Kecker and Van Nest, in an email to The Tech.Back in July 2011, Swartz was arrested for allegedly illegally downloading millions of academic journal articles “with the intent to distribute them”, from the JSTOR digital archive. Swartz appeared in court on Sept. 24, 2012 and pleaded not guilty.
Swartz had also been a co-founder of DemandProgress.org, a “campaign against the Internet censorship bills SOPA/PIPA” as described by the Toronto Sun.
The Book of Enoch
I have read the Book of Enoch and it is very clear why it was not put into the cannon....Just read the first paragraph.....
I grew up in a strict Assembly of God church, You know the kind where you don't question anything about God?
Well, now as an adult I have had my eyes opened by God, and he is OK with all the questions you want to ask, as long as you ask him! Folks he will answer your questions.
When I discovered that the Bible mentioned that the sons of God had paired themselves with the daughters of man in Genesis and that they had begot children I was going to question EVERYTHING about it, and I wondered why in all my life in church I had never heard of this!
Genesis 6
King James Version (KJV)
6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Through my internet search about this I came across the words fallen angels (sons of God that fell from heaven for earthly desires), nephilim (giant offspring of angels and the daughter of men), and Enoch (7 from Adam) Noah's great grandfather. As it would happen I found the Book of Enoch and wondered if reading it would send my soul to blaze in fire forever as the church's preach, but when I started reading it all the blanks were filled in! Not only the blanks in the Bible but the earthly questions like how were the pyramids made and how our technology is what it is today!
I come across many articles or blogs that call this book blasphemy, or the work of the devil, but I believe that they are brainwashed by the man lead church today. I prayed for God to let me know if the Book of Enoch was not of him to give me that feeling when reading it, and folks that book was so insightful and for the first time everything I had been taught from the Bible made sense.
In the Olivet Discourse when the disciples asked Jesus how would they know when the last days are, the FIRST thing in all 3 accounts Jesus said was "DO NOT LET ANY MAN DECEIVE YOU" because he knew we were to be lead of the path of righteousness, and that the church would become followers of man instead of followers of God!
Olivet Discourse
3 And as
he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4
And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
Mark
13
3 And as
he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and
James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell
us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all
these things shall be fulfilled?
5
And Jesus answering
them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6 For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
LUKE
21
6 As for
these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there
shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown
down.
7 And
they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and
what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8
And he said, Take heed
that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore
after them.
In the end days the church and the world is no longer dependent upon the spirit of God but wisdom of man.
1
Corinthians 2
12 Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of
God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of
God.
13 Which
things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with
spiritual.
14 But
the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned.
1
Corinthians 3
18 Let no
man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this
world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For
the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
CRAFT:
shrewdness as demonstrated by being skilled in deception
20 And
again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
VAIN:
having or showing an excessively high opinion of ones appearance,
abilities, or worth
21 Therefore
let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
Do not be led away
from the truth and simplicity of the gospel by science, persuasive
speaking, or persuasive writings by (anyone) IE. rabbis, orators, or
philosophers.
We are in danger of deceiving ourselves when we have
too high an opinion of human wisdom. High opinions of our own wisdom
are nothing but self-flattery, which is the next step to self-deceit.
The way to true wisdom is the willingness to be taught by God. The
person who resigns his own understanding, and be willing to receive
the instruction of God will have true and everlasting wisdom.
If you
lower the opinion of your own knowledge, it will enable you to submit
to better information so that you may be informed and improved by the
revelation: but proud men conceited of their own wisdom and
understanding, will not accept correction or the divine wisdom by God
himself, and prefer their own shallow reasoning’s of the
revelations.
We must humble ourselves before God to be truly wise or
good. God has a perfect knowledge of the thoughts of men, the deepest
thoughts of the wisest men, their most secret counsels and purposes:
nothing is hidden from him, and he knows them to be vanity.
The
thoughts of the wisest men in the world have a great mixture of
vanity, weakness and folly in them. Before God their wisest and best
thoughts are to the highest degree vanity.
Shouldn’t all this teach
us modesty?
We should submit to the wisdom of God, and be thankful
for his revelations, be willing to be taught by God, and not be led
away by what “human wisdom” teaches the simplicity of Christ, or
a regard to his heavenly doctrine.
He who would be wise must learn
from God, and not set his own wisdom up in competition with God’s.
Too much faith in anything other than God will always lead you
astray.
1 Timothy 4:1-2
4 Now the Spirit
speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from
the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking
lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Now back to Enoch, he was an important man, God took him to heaven in human form like Elijah, then Jesus. He was important enough to mention in the Bible (scriptures are below). In the Book of Jude he does not just mention Enoch he mentions what Enoch PROPHESIED. So you have to ask why you shouldn't read it if its been referred to in the Bible
Genesis 5:18-24 [18] Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Enoch. [19] After he begot Enoch, Jared lived eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters. [20] So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died. [21] Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. [22] After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. [23] So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. [24] And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Jude 1:14-15 [14] Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, [15] to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

WOW! Giant ‘red wave’ dust storm pounds Australia
Giant ‘red wave’ dust storm pounds Australia
AUSTRALIA - ‘Eerie and amazing’ images of a dust storm in Western Australia have been posted online. As southern Australia ‘sizzles’ in an extreme heat-wave, the ‘meteorological phenomenon’ rolled over Western Australia. Buzzfeed posted incredible images of a ‘meteorological phenomenon’ which showed a huge dust storm off the coast of Western Australia. As it moved over the water it looked like a tangible substance, dense and unyielding. The photos were taken by various Australians and are posted on Facebook at Perth Weather Live. The images have received media attention and various comments. Most of the photos were uploaded from mobile or cell phones. In one photo, the Macedon Gas project site looks like the aftermath of a disaster. One comment on this image read, ‘makes nice picture but not good for the air con.’ The dust storm off the coast of Onslow, Western Australia, is predicted to be followed by tropical cyclone Narelle, according to the Australian. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology said the dust storm was not directly linked to Tropical Cyclone Narelle. Narelle is currently hundreds of kilometers off shore. The dust storm met with strong winds and rain as it passed over Onslow, resulting in it ‘dumping sand and dust’ it had picked up. Winds with a speed of 102kph were recorded. Category-three cyclone Narelle continues to track its way to Australia and wind speeds at its centre are estimated to be 250km/h. Western Australia is known for its gas production and precautionary measures are being taken. Flights are on stand-by to evacuate workers, if necessary. –Digital Journal

Pray for this lady folks...She sees what the others don't! God may be calling out to her and we need to pray she hears him! Israel’s jihad is mine
Israel’s jihad is mine
As Israel considers building a new fence to contain the Syrian conflict to the north, which fences can keep out Hamas’s even more lethal ideologies? While Gaza and the Muslim Arab world continue to claim victory in the recent Israel-Hamas conflict, for the sane observers among us, there is only ever defeat – the defeat of morality in the desecration of a great religion. While most Muslims laud Hamas and scorn Israel, for me, an observing Muslim, Israel’s war against Hamas remains my struggle – my jihad.
Israel’s eight-day operation “Pillar of
Defense” sought to dismantle the Hamas apparatus from within Gaza. The
predictably seamless alignment of the Muslim world against Israel was
even more breathtaking than usual in the face of Syria’s 22 months of
systematic genocide, one which has consistently failed to trigger
unanimous Muslim protest. What does this say about us as Muslims?
We are hypocrites.
While Muslims define Israel as the enemy, we
ignore Assad, and diabolically laud Hamas. Hamas is never sated – each
year it devours ever more Palestinians, regardless of age or gender. If
Israelis lose fewer citizens than the Palestinians in these conflicts it
is for the same reason Israel exchanges more prisoners for each captive
soldier: quite simply Israel values human life more than does Hamas,
which relishes ground operations taking place among densely populate civilian areas.
Explaining this to Muslims in the
Twitterverse, I get sharply reminded that Hamas does not have the
“luxury of launch sites” that Israel enjoys. Have we lost our minds,
Muslims? How can we speak of ‘launch sites’ as ‘luxuries’ while
disregarding the culling taking place in Syria? Perhaps we have not lost
our minds, but we have most certainly lost our religion.
As I am not one to speak for others, allow me
to let Hamas speak for themselves. They are bald-faced about their
mission, seeking glory through death, annunciation through annihilation:
We are ready to offer 1,000, 2,000 or even
10,000 martyrs every year. We are ready to keep offering martyrs for
twenty years because we are sure we are moving in the right direction
and that we will prevail in the end” (Hamas leader Khalid Al Mish’al in
Gaza”
To Hamas, a Palestinian life is worth more
when “martyred,” a dead child more of a blessing than one living. “The
children of the kindergarten are the shaheeds [martyrs] of tomorrow,”
reads a sign displayed at a Hamas-run kindergarten. The martyrdom mantra
is their anthem.
While observers speculate Hamas will shortly
usurp the crumbling Fatah leadership and ideologically annex the West
Bank, we must remember Hamas’ raison d’etre: Islamist nihilism, a
totalitarian ideology, jet-fueled on the language and images stolen from
mighty Islam. Israeli negotiators who must engage with this opponent
are walking on the sharp-edged sword of Damocles and unlike Muslims, the
Israelis certainly know it.
Coloring their fascism with Islam, Hamas
claims religious legitimacy to openly seek destruction of the Jewish
state and eradication of the Jewish people. By grafting themselves onto
Into Islamic ideals – the vertebral column of that which is most sacred
to Muslims – they render Islam itself heinous, representing their true
ruthlessness: theirs is a willingness to sacrifice anything –including
Islam – to portray Israel as evil.
This ethos was captured in a single
unprecedented obscenity: Hamas’ morbid motorcade. Cocksure thugs,
defiantly cruising on motorcycles trailed exposed cadavers of
Palestinians – Muslim men – trousers pooled at dead ankles. To chants of
‘Allah-hu-Akbar’ as dozens of Palestinian onlookers silently watched,
Hamas took its ghoulish victory lap explicitly to show Gazans how they
execute ‘suspected informers to Israel’. This is the Islam of Hamas.
This is why Hamas does not represent me, or
other believing Muslims. This is why Israel’s battle is mine. This is
why Israel’s struggle – Israel’s jihad – is mine. These are the
‘Muslims’ that Israelis must confront and these are the “Muslims” who
intimidate innocent Palestinians into subjugation to their monstrous
political Islamism.
But we Muslims in particular, more than conflict-hardened Israelis, should hardly be surprised, for it was Muslims who were once forewarned of scourges such as Hamas.
The Prophet Mohammed (SAW) was once asked what
he most feared for his followers. Centuries later, his response,
recorded in the hadith, haunts, stating he feared those who:
…Interpret verses of the Qur’an out of context…A people that recite Qur’an….but it will not go past their throats, a people with excellent words and vile deeds. They will pass through the religion (of Islam) like the arrow passes through its quarry. They will no more come back to the religion than the arrow will come back to its course. They are the worst of human beings and the worst of all creation. They summon to the book of Allah, but they have nothing to do with it. Whoever kills them is closer to Allah than they.
This is the true nature of Hamas, which
recites the Quran yet doesn’t hold it in their hearts, that “summon to
the book of Allah but have nothing to do with it.” By the above, it
would seem the IDF (that eliminates Hamas) is surely closer to Allah
than Hamas.
Yet instead of condemning Hamas, and
recognizing them as imposters among us, the Muslim world celebrates
them, even as Hamas violates the most profound Islamic principle: the
sanctity of life, a right man must protect even in preference to any
rights God claims from man.
When Muslims support Hamas, we support no less
than the signatories to Islam’s collective extinction. Muslim support
renders Hamas legitimate, their methods acceptable, their ideals valid.
Our support as Muslims is their lifeblood. In supporting them, we
hemorrhage our only currency, our only asset – our great monotheism.
Two years into the Arab Awakening, the freshly
turned soil is ripe for the seeding. Hamas operatives everywhere are
already celebrated as ‘liberators’ of Gazans, when they have actually
long been their jailers, ‘victors’ over Israel, when Hamas is the
personal death knell of all pluralism in the region. Gazans so recently
celebrating in the street are no more than hostages afflicted with the
worst Stockholm Syndrome imaginable, heading to their own death through
their misplaced hope in their virulently Islamist leadership.
During Operation Pillar of Defense, Jewish
friends said “this must be such a difficult time for you, but I am glad
of our friendship” implying that because I am Muslim, my loyalty must
surely be to Gaza, my enmity automatically aligned with Israel.
Not so. As a Muslim, I am clear: my loyalty is
with Islam, and therefore explicitly with justice, justice for all
humanity, a humanity that must include Jews. Hamas is obscenely unjust,
so how can my loyalty be with them? To be loyal to Hamas is no less than
to abandon Islam. To be loyal to Hamas is the ultimate blasphemy.
While I understand the need for Israeli
negotiators to engage with Hamas first to secure the current ceasefire
and then for some sort of functional peace, the reality is their
militant ideology must be suffocated out of existence or else the
détente is little more than an illusion. For this, unlike for suicide
bombers or Syrian rockets, there are no Israeli fences or walls, no Iron
Domes, only Muslim barriers – robust barriers of counter-ideology.
It is Muslims who must take the first steps to
excoriate Hamas, to expose them as the ruthless nihilists they
explicitly announce themselves to be. We must scorn Hamas for
masquerading among the poor as their savior when they are instead their
executioner. Muslims must hold all media accountable for telling the
truth: Palestinians are the Muslims orphaned not by Israel but by the
entire Muslim world itself. Land-grabs and permanent refugee camps are
testament to such.
We must ask ourselves the difficult questions.
Does Hamas, who prostitute their progeny in the service of terror,
represent Islam? Is Hamas emulating our Prophet as they rain rockets on
unarmed, civilian, non-combatants? Do their Fajr missiles, named after
Muslim prayers no less, encompass the spirit of Islam as was revealed to
its followers? Do Hamas’ stated goals – including elimination of Israel
– represent coexistence with the People of the Book, who are cherished
in the Quran as dear to God and their Messenger, Moses, particularly
admired by our Maker for his courage in the face of fear?
Don’t be fooled by Hamas’ words Muslims; we have a duty to judge them on their vile deeds.
If Islam is to truly thrive, it will only do
so when more and more anti-Islamist Muslims confront and extinguish
radical Islamist ideologues. Otherwise, we stand to lose both Israel and
Islam in one fell swoop of the Islamist axe. Whether rescuing
Palestinians and Israelis captive to the whim of Hamas, or rescuing
Islam from Islamist Hamas, this is truly our jihad and no one else’s, which is why Israel’s jihad is also mine.
French-backed Malian troops drive Islamists out of Konna
In heavy fighting
Saturday, Mali government forces with French air support partly regained
the strategic town of Konna, gateway to the Mali capital of Bamako. The
al Qaeda-led Islamist alliance which captured Konna appeared to be
retreating. In Washington, a US official told Reuters the Pentagon was
weighing options in the west African desert nation, including
intelligence-sharing with France and logistics support. French Foreign
Minister Laurent Fabius confirmed France had carried out air strikes
against the rebels to prevent them overruning the whole of Mali.
Israel declares Area E1 closed military zone
Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu, Saturday night, ordered security forces to evict the
Palestinian “settlement” established in the area between Maaeleh Adummim
and Jerusalem, known as Area E1 and close it off as a military zone.
Several Palestinians moved into the area Friday and renamed it Bab
el-Shams. Netanyahu also instructed the state prosecution to apply to
the Supreme Court for annulment of a temporary injunction holding up the
Palestinian evacuation. The Palestinians claim Israel’s presence in E1
divides the West Bank in two parts. Israel says it leaves a wide enough
corridor to link them.
